Value peace

Chapter 270 The Storm Is Coming ([-])

A few days after Hongyu got married, Aunt Gao also came to say goodbye.

Gu Xiyan looked at her graying hair and sincerely wanted to keep her: "Auntie, why don't you just stay in the mansion for the elderly! Although Chunli is good, but you are getting old, you need someone to take care of you."

Aunt Gao smiled indifferently: "Speaking of which, I am indeed old, and I really want to ask the young lady for a favor and keep someone by my side."

Do you want to stand up for Zhao mama?
Since returning in the spring, Gu Xiyan has invited three famous doctors from Yandi to stay at home according to the old practice of the Qi Mansion. If there is a headache, the three doctors will consult together. Xiyan sent her out from time to time to see a doctor for the children of the Gong family. She is good at medicine, and according to Han, her illness is often cured with the medicine.

Gu Xiyan smiled: "Aunt Gao, talk about it, as long as it is suitable, I will do my best to fulfill my aunt's wish."

Aunt Gao smiled knowingly: "I want Yanhong to serve me by my side for a few years, and after I return to the mountain for a hundred years, I will let her come back to serve the Young Madam. What do you want?"

Gu Xiyan knew that the two got along well before, but she didn't expect Aunt Gao to like Yanhong so much.

Gu Xiyan called Yanhong and asked her what she meant.

Yan Hong was also a little surprised.

Gu Xiyan felt a little relieved.

It seems that it was not discussed in advance.

Her tone became warmer: "You have been with me for the past few years, and you know my temper. I have always encouraged you to learn a skill and live in peace. This is also an opportunity. You have to think about it carefully."

Yan Hong only thought for a moment, then said: "Then can I come back?"

Gu Xiyan smiled and said: "That's natural. As long as you are willing, the door of Qi Mansion will always be open for you."

After hearing this, Yan Hong breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

When Mo Ju found out, she cried a lot.

The girls of the Wei family each had their own circumstances, and now only Xingyu and Yunshang are left by Gu Xiyan's side. Although she and Hongyu are working in the mansion, they have their own home after all. Whether he can continue to serve the young lady like this, no one can say for sure.

On the day when Aunt Gao left the house, the weather was clear and cloudless, and Yan Hong was holding a blue cloth bundle, standing pretty beside the shaft of the car and waving to everyone.

Siping stood lonely at the corner of the corridor, watching the carriage rumble away.

He is not young anymore, and he is no longer used to coming and going between the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard. It will be a matter of one or two years before he is released. The name Siping has to be called by someone else.

But until then, Yanhong still remembers herself.

The sadness of parting gradually fades with time, and the four maids who have just entered the mansion have begun to work in Liyuan under Xing Yu's guidance.In mid-October, there was a letter from Xizhao, proclaiming the son of Empress Fang's son as the crown prince and pardoning the whole world.

It is well known in the government and the public that the emperor only favors the imperial concubine Yu's family, but now he has suddenly appointed his five-month-old son as the crown prince, presumably it is the result of political wrangling!

Gu Xiyan who heard the news was only stunned for a moment, she is too busy now, she doesn't have time to think about these things too much.

Brother Tun is already five months old. Gu Xiyan doesn't know what happens to other people's children, but Brother Tun can already turn over and sit up by himself, so he rolled from one side to the other if he didn't pay attention.Not only that, but he is also very curious, he would grab everything he saw and take a look, then put it in his mouth and taste it, and if he didn't like it, he would cry loudly.

Gu Xiyan tried her best to meet his request, holding him and repeatedly telling him to recognize things.

Although she put in a lot of energy, Brother Tun prefers to play with Mrs. Wei, being thrown high and then falling gently, and being held around on the plum blossom pile are all games he likes very much.

Because the wind was already blowing on her body, Madam Wei stopped letting them go to pay her respects. Instead, Madam Wei came to see Brother Tun in Liyuan every morning. Brother Tun seemed to know how to recognize people. When she saw Madam Wei , just turned around and hummed at her, no one wanted it, Mrs. Wei was so proud that Gu Xiyan felt sour when she saw it.

However, as winter entered, she also had more things to do.

When Gu Xiyan was in charge of the house, she set responsibilities for each of the managers. At this time, it was time to honor them. She, Hongyu, and Mo Ju went to each yard to check, and then judged the good and bad according to everyone's completion. The rankings were announced, and the rewards for everyone were also announced.

A stone hits a thousand waves, some people are happy and some are worried.Because of this, someone came to Mrs. Wei's place, and Mrs. Wei stared at her, and said, "I don't care about this, what's the use of you looking for me!"

The visitor went away, but Mrs. Wei came to Gu Xiyan again: "You don't have to worry about it! If you have this skill, it's better to pinch Brother Tun's milk and find a way to call Maosheng back... You are so far away from the mountain... It’s water-proof, you’d better be careful, lest it’s too late to regret it!”

Gu Xiyan really couldn't laugh or cry.

Qi Mao wrote a letter a few days ago, saying that Shen Shiya went all the way east and successively occupied Minzhou, Tingzhou and Diezhou in Longzhong County. Now the court has [-] troops in Xizhou in Longzhong, and is preparing to fight the Shu army. high and low.If his predictions are correct, the battle will probably last until the spring of next year. Before that, the Yan army will be temporarily stationed in Nanshan County, and he is going to come back for the New Year.

Thinking of this, Gu Xiyan couldn't help but look down at herself.

The movements taught by Bao Niang are really effective, and the figure seems to be recovering well.Otherwise, Mrs. Wei would not have asked her to find a way to get Maosheng back, but would pick on her waist again...

As soon as Gu Xiyan came out of Huaiyuan, she immediately called people from the sewing team to make clothes.

Maosheng is coming back for the New Year, so he has to tidy up himself.Speaking of which, since she was pregnant with brother Tun, it seems that she hasn't looked in the mirror carefully for a long time.

While Gu Xiyan was happily waiting for Qi Maosheng to come back, the imperial court suddenly sent an imperial envoy to Yongzhou.

It was Qi Xiao who received the order.

He came to see Gu Xiyan with a solemn expression, and handed over the imperial decree to her.

Gu Xiyan glanced at it, and then froze there: "Brother Tun is sealed to be the commander of the capital? What is that for?"

Qi Xiao smiled and said: "I don't do anything, I'm just a military officer of the third rank."

Gu Xiyan glanced at Brother Tun who was sitting on the kang and was grabbing a purse with Xing Yu and stuffing it into his mouth: "Zheng Sanpin, military officer?"

Qi Xiao nodded.

Gu Xiyan was ashamed.

Just this little boy, from today onwards, he will be a third-rank military officer.Being the third grade, that was something Gu Baozhang had thought about for most of his life and never thought of it...

Qi Xiao didn't stay long, teased Brother Tun, then turned around and went to Qinyuan.

Gu Xiyan took the imperial decree, handed it to Duanniang, carried Brother Tun to Mrs. Wei's place, and told her the good news.

When Gu Xiyan came back from Huaiyuan with the child in her arms, she saw Siping dodging at the second gate.

He probably didn't expect to meet Gu Xiyan, so when he saw Gu Xiyan, he was obviously taken aback, then showed a deliberately flattering smile to salute Gu Xiyan, and called Brother Tun: "Master Tun!" , you are now a third-rank adult."

With bright eyes, Gu Xiyan called Siping to go in and talk: "Has the imperial envoy left yet?"

Siping said with a smile: "Well, the third master is in charge of reception."

Gu Xiyan smiled like a flower: "What did you say?"

"Oh," Siping spoke a bit slowly, "I didn't say anything, that is to say, the master has made great contributions in Liangdi and granted the title of military officer of the third rank to the son of the world..."

"So, did you hear clearly what the imperial envoy said?" Gu Xiyan asked lightly.

"Listen clearly!" As soon as Siping spoke, he wished to swallow his tongue in regret, "I, I didn't hear very clearly..."

Gu Xiyan looked at him with a smile.

After getting along with each other in the past few years, he has more or less figured out the temper of the young lady.

I have already said "I heard clearly", if I didn't tell all I know, if the young lady heard something, then my good life would probably come to an end.When the young lady can't give birth to a child, the master is unwilling to take a concubine, for fear that the young lady will be wronged, not to mention, now that the young lady has given birth to a son, I am afraid that she will spoil the special house even more in the future... Besides, this This kind of thing can be kept hidden for a while, but it can't be kept hidden for a lifetime, the young lady will know sooner or later... Isn't it because I can't bear the young lady to be kept secret, so I stand in front of the second door and hesitate and don't know what to do?
Thinking of this, Siping was like a discouraged ball, resigned to his fate and said: "Return, and say, marry Princess Jian'an, give it to the Lord, and give it to the Lord as a flat wife!"

"Being a flat wife for the master?" Gu Xiyan asked incredulously.

"Well!" Siping nodded.

Both myself and brother Tun have been granted imperial edicts by the court...Xi Mingming clearly knew that Qi Maosheng had married a wife and had children, and even gave him a princess...What does this mean...What do you mean by "a flat wife"... Could it be that Because the other party is a princess and an aristocrat of Xizhao, after seizing her husband, she still feels that she has been wronged, and she also feels that she has condescended...

The anger in her heart immediately burned through her whole body like a fire, blood rushed to the top of her head, and her ears were filled with the sound of throbbing blood vessels.

Siping looked at Gu Xiyan, who was flushed and excited, and called out "Young Madam" anxiously.

Gu Xiyan ignored Siping, her hands on the kang table were tightly clenched into fists, and the knuckles of her fingers were frighteningly white.She asked Siping coldly: "What did the third master say?"

While carefully observing Gu Xiyan's expression, Siping said in a low voice: "The third master said, this is the master's housework, he can't make the decision, we have to wait for the master to come back to decide..."

"Have already made a decree, or come to discuss this matter!"

"I didn't see the will, it seems to be a message."

"What did the imperial envoy say?"

"Said, this is a great honor, and also said that the court gave the princess to marry the Duke's mansion, this is the first time since the founding of Xizhao..."
